Airline overbooking is a common practice. Many people make reservations on several flights due to uncertain plans and cancel at the last minute or simply fail to show up. Eagles Air is a small commuter airline. Their planes hold only 15 people. Past records indicate that 20% of the people making reservation do not show up for the flight. Hint: think binomial

Suppose that Eagle Air decides to book 18 people for each flight.

a. Determine the probability that on any given flight, at least one passenger holding a reservation will not have a seat.

b. What is the probability that there will be one or more empty seats for any one flight?

c. Determine the mean and the standard deviation of this random variable
